You can obtain a complete copy of your immigration file from the government by filing a Freedom of Information application. It is always advisable that you obtain a complete copy of your file from the government if you have ever filed an immigration application in the past and/or been placed in deportation proceedings before filing another application. There is no filing fee for the application.
Contact the Law Offices Jon E. Jessen LLC if you want to file a FOIA application.

I tell clients who are about to apply for their U.S. Citizenship that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will review an applicant's green card application at the same time that the person's N400 (Citizenship application) is being reviewed. If USCIS determines that the applicant committed fraud or otherwise was not eligible for the green card, even though the green card had been approved, not only will USCIS deny the N400 but can also place the person in deportation proceedings.

If you violate U.S. export or import laws, even if the violation is not a criminal offense, you can be placed in deportation proceedings and not only lose your green card but also be deported. Always consult with an experienced immigration attorney if you have a green card and are being accused by the U.S. government of violating U.S. export or import laws.

The Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman was created in 2002 as an independent office of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the purpose of reviewing issues raised by individuals and employers which deal with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and recommending changes to DHS. The website is located at: http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm
In addition, the role of the Ombudsman is to review inquiries from individuals and employers who have cases pending with USCIS if the individual or employer is not receiving a satisfactory explanation from USCIS concerning the status of the case. The Ombudsman, upon receipt of the information from the inquiry, will initiate a formal inquiry with USCIS. USCIS will then respond directly to the Ombudsman within forty-five days and the Ombudsman will then forward the response to the individual or employer. The individual or employer should submit their inquiry on DHS Form 7001 which can be accessed by clicking on the following link: Ombudsman Form.pdf (598.17 kb).
